breeding sanctuary for the Glossy Black Cockatoo, a rare bird found
only on this island. Afterwards we will visit the Stokes Bay Bush
Garden, home to over 150 species of plants unique to Kangaroo Island.

DAY 4Wednesday February 13, 2019

We dock in Adelaide today, a gracious city, where the early settlers built
attractive stone buildings. The city has a superb setting surrounded by
green parkland. We will enjoy a panoramic tour of Adelaide. We will
see the art gallery, museum, state library, university and the casino. We
continue on to visit the Adelaide Botanic Garden. We will have a guided
tour of the restored Victorian Palm House and the National Rose Trial
Garden as well as the International Rose Garden. There should be a
gorgeous display of roses at this time of year. This afternoon we will
visit Carrick Hill, built 62 years ago. We will enjoy a guide tour of the
house. The interior is 400 years old and was shipped from England. The
house contains many wonderful antiques. The gardens feature a large
assortment of roses including important collections of old fashioned
roses and Australian roses. Jane will escort us around the garden.

This afternoon we visit Corinda, an enchanting inner-city garden
positioned around a beautifully restored Victorian house. Since the
early nineties Wilmar Bouman and Matthew Ryan have recreated the
garden of a century-old property. A pleached linden tree walk in the
shape of a U, under planted with clipped box hedges, frames the garden.
Flower-packed perennial beds overflow with colour, contrasting with

shade-lovers under mature trees. We return to the ship for an evening
at leisure.
